Abstract

GOUVEIA, Luís. Teachers’ authority and the complex making of the common: tensions and criticisms in the families’ intervention in the work of teachers. ETD [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.434-454. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v20i2.8650672.

With the massification of schooling, students from socially and culturally more diversified backgrounds carry out longer school trajectories. Sustained in transnational political orientations, these changes also occur in the context of a school institution shaped by the paradigm of school effectiveness. In this new conjuncture, the traditional models in which teachers' authority is exercised are put to the test. In the context of a set of profound political, social and organizational changes that mark the educational system in the last decades, this article intends to explore different critical senses mobilized by teachers regarding the relationship with parents - in which dimensions of the teaching activity this intervention is more likely to happen and the critical judgments are produced by these professionals regarding them.

Keywords : Parents-Teachers’ Relationship; Teachers’ Authority; Tensions and Criticism; Regimes of Engagement in Action.
